Preview: Manchester City vs Arsenal prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26

The Cityzens are unbeaten in their last two fixtures against the Gunners.

Manchester City are all set to battle it out against Arsenal for their matchweek 33 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an intense outing between these clubs, taking place at the Etihad Stadium.

The Pep Guardiola-led side have secured back-to-back wins in their last three matches. They have secured the Carabao Cup title and then eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup. The Cityzens then secured an easy 3-0 win against Chelsea in their league fixture.

Manchester City still have a chance to win the English top division league title. But only if they manage to win their upcoming contest. They will be at home, and it is going to be an added advantage for them.

Mikel Arteta’s men have come up with some underwhelming results in their last few games. In their last league fixture, they were outplayed by Bournemouth, that too while being at home. The Gunners have secured their spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-final after barely taking down Sporting CP.

Arsenal currently have a six-point lead and are currently on top of the Premier League points table. They will be away from home for their next matchup, and it can become a tough outing for them. The Gunners performed poorly against Man City in their previous meeting and were defeated 0-2 in the EFL Cup final.
